The country over which we pasK"d . . . i in lite jNation is uoi as goon as wu expected lo (iud. The bet portion for agriculluial purpose is the Cherokee Nation. As we iret near the Arkansas river the land becomes hilly; sandstone laying thick over those hills, and dectilule of limber some very small vallcvs that would do for Indian cull lire. The valleys along lite st i rams are principally honieicn with good limber and the soil good. We loiiml iniirli very poor laud after crossing the Arkansas river ; we i raveled over a prairie count ey nr some disiaure, cmr-sing many little ! si ream skirled wilh brtih and tint-be1. Some of these prairie valleys are good for cultivation. The nexl stream of any note was North Canadian and seven miles trom ! I Washln jtoti Letter to the Plttsburjc tester.) I was relntcd n rerr iiiterttliiglurf 1nt yesterday, which has neverbeeii mode public through any of the jour-uals of the daw If at the time of its occurrence it had been published it would have furnished one of the sen sations of iho lime. "Double-leaded" t vpc and displar headlines would have been called Into piny to do honor lo the Importance of the news. Thi. then, Is nothing more or less hau the historv of an attempted as sassination ofPrcsidcnt Grant. The attempt was so very near a success Hint had it. not been for the pluck nud personnl bravery of one man, General Grant would long ago have been gathered to his fathers, and per haps ihe third-term question would' never have come up for discussion. The truth of ti c incident admits of no question, and it Is a great wonder to tm how such a bit of news never became known a! the time. However, circumstances explain this in a meas ure. The attempted assassination was made when Grant was general of the army, a short time before he wits elected President of iheUirted States. At the tunc ho occupied the house lately U8cd by General' Sherman, on I street between Second and ihird streets. General Grant came walking along home one day unaccompanied. The neighborhood of Massachusetts avenue and Sixth street, where the attack was made, is one of the quietest and most retired portions of the city. As the general catno along to cross Sixth street, Dr. Charles II. Dowet.. a well-known physician of this city, was standing in front of his office on Massachusetts avenue. A" Dr. Bowcn wa3 looking at the general pass by, he saw a man dart out from behind the bow-window with a revolver in his hand, shouting out to Grant terrible imprecations. .mil limit he said. "Hold on. Yankee fumnfa ." Wilh this he raised his revoU'er. and was about to fire, when Dr. Bowcn. who is a verv large and powerful man, placed himself be I ween Ihe would-be assassin and the future President. The doctor cried out. to the man, 'What arc you about there?" The man replied, "I am after that Yankee son of a . I am going to blow his brains nut." The doctor, a cool blooded man. who had seen four years' service during Ihe laic war, said. "In order to shoot him, you will have to slioot me. Come, now. put up-that pistol." The man replied inatrenzy,"Stand out of my way, or I will kill yon. too. I am an Alabamian.

There is a very fine court house going up on ihe square, of brick. Mono niched windows, door caps and sills. It is one hundred and two feet square. I am surprised at the amount ot business done here, and Ihe different kinds of vegetables niul fruits, some of which are shipped here; but it mailers not, I here is money here to buy it or it would not be here. How does the money come here? from the tiriiriiictK of the soil. I have been here three days and I rail it a very uiet town. Concealed arms are not allowed to be carried in any part ot le Stale, except, perhaps, in some of lm extreme western bonier cotin- ics. The improvements along the rond e found to be belter and more sub stantial ihe further soulh we went think the Choctaw Nation has more and better improvements than anv of he other nniions Ihcy appear to ive'l'v their labor ami havesmnc fine buildings and good farms, anil are du ng considerable ol new clearing ihia spring.

Yours, &c, world. 1 am going get even with wc that man there, and then I don't care what becomes of inc." During this parley General Grant stepped out briskly, turning his bend back every now and then. The doctor engaged the, man until Grant was around ihe corner on I street. Then he went bold'v up to the man. ami quick! v placitt- Ins right linger under , as no t.Ilcc liis nose, throwing his head back, ,,c and that she wa .iiiii.iii nlivsiciuti then "let in Ii left," as the sporting phrase goes, and the man tumbled to the ground. He also lost his revolver in the fall. The doctor picked it up and then said lo Ihe man, "It would be a good thing for you lo get out of this town as quick as you can. It will not be a good place for you after this." The man at this ran away, and the doctor never saw him afterward. The revolver he still retains a a souvenir of Hie attempt upon the life of Gen eral Grant. The would-be assassin was a man ot medium hoight. who appeared to be in the neighborhood of twenty-five years of age. He was dressed in a dark, well-worn, butternut colored stilt. A black slouch hat, worn by nearly every Southerner, was slouched over a smooth, beardless face. T,hcrc was no doubt in the mind of the doctor that the man was in eanest. He was a man evidently made crazy by desperation, and was perfectly reckless as to what he did. The President never, during his further residence upon I street, walked home again. He always rode, and then he never came down Massachusetts avenue. Although he was hilly aware of the seriousness of the attempt on his life, no words ever pass ed between him and the doctor upon the subject. Once the doctor had OC' riiKioii to ask a small favor of the President, and it was granted at once, thus showiiur that. althii"Ii the President had never personally ac kuowleilgcd the act of the doctor, he yet held him in grateful remem brance. N, M. SMITH. Cut This OHt. Every pcrsoiushould know how to ireat a flesh wound. Every one is li-ble to be placed in circumstances awav from surgical and veterinary aid, where he may have to' save his own life, the life of'a friend or a beast simply from the exercise of n li.'lle common sense. In the tirst place close the lips of the wound within the hands and hold them ilrmlv to 'ether to check the flow ot the blood until several stitches can bo taken and a bandage applied. Then bathe tho wound -for a lows time in cold water. "Should it be painful." a correspondent says, s,tako a panful of burning coals and sprinkle upon them common brown siiirar. and hold Ihe wounded part in tlto smoke. In a minute or two tho pain-.will ho al layed, ami the recovery proceeds rap-id'lv. In mv case 'a rusty nail, had made a bad wound in'my foot. The pain and nervous irritation -were severe. This was all removed by hold ing it in smoke fifteen minutes, and I was able to resume my reading in comfort. We have often recommend ed it to others riti like results, Last week one of in? men had a finger nail torn out by a pair of ice tongs. It became i-erv painful, as was to bo ex pected. Held in sugar Binokatwcnty minutcs, pain ceased aud promised spce'ily rccovcrY' for the.fjrjt time since my marriage, nhd 1 don't know what ovil sreuitis prom pled. Ijio, wjekeduess, which I perpetrated toward my wifo and ancient relation. "My dear,'-' said I to my wile, on the day beforo my aunt's arrival, "you know Aunt Mnry Is coming tomorrow. Well, I forgot lo mention a rather annoying circumstance with regard to her : she is rerr deaf, aud although s!ie can hear mv voice, yet Von will be obliged to H'enk extreme ly loud in order to be heard. It will be rather inconvenient, but I know you will do cvcrriliiug in your power to make her risil ngreeable." Mrs. Opie announced her determin ation to make herself heard, if in her power. I then went .to John N .who loves a joke about a well as any per son I know of. aud told him to be in the house the urxt evening at G p. in., and felt comparatively happy. I went to the railroad depot with a carriage next night, and when I wa-on my way home with my aunt, I said : "My dear aunt, ihere is one rather annoying infirmity that Annie (my wife) has, which I forgot to men tion before She is rerr deaf, and although she can hear my roice, to which she has become accustomed, in ' j its ordinary oiies, yet you will bo obliged to speak extremely lout) in order to be heard. I am verv sorrr for it." Aunt Mary, in the goodness of her heart, protested that she rather liked speaking loud, and to do so would afford her great pleasure. The carriage drove up; on the steps was my wife; in the window was John N , with a face as utterly solemn as if he had buried his relatives that afternoon. "I am delighted to sec you," shrieked my wife, and the policeman on the opposite side of the street was startled, and my .unit fell down the steps. "Kiss me, my dear," bawled mv aunt', and the windows shook as with the fever and ague. 1 looked at the window, John had disappeared. Human nature could stand it no longer. I poked my head into the carriage and went into strong convulsions. When I went into Ihe parlor my wile was helping Aunt Mary to take oft' her hat and cape; and there sat John with his face buried in his handkerchief."Did you havea pleasant journey?" suddenly went ofl my wife like a pistol, and John nearly jumped to his jcet. "Rather dusty," was the response, in a war-whoop, and the conversation continued. The neighbors, for blocks around, must have heard it. When I was in the third story of I he building I heard every word. In the course of Ihe evening my aunt took occasion to say to me, "How loud your wife talks!" I told her deaf persons talked loudly, anil thai my wife, being used to it, was not affected by the exertion. s getting along rerr I :.t. t.- g inrei . nun iii:r. ' Presently my wife said, softly, 'AI, how very loud your aunt talks!" "Yes," said I, "all deaf persons do. You are setting along with her fine-Iv ; she hears every word you say." Aud I rather think she did. Exalted at their success ot being understood, titer went it hammer and tongs, till everything on theman-tel-picce clattered again, nnd I was scrjously afraid of a crowd collecting in front of the house. But. the end was near. Mv aunt. being of an inventive turn of mind, was desirous of finding out whether the exertion of talking was injurious o my wife. So "Don't talking so oud strain your lungs?" said she in an unearthly whoop, for her voice was not as musical as it was when she was voting. "It is an excrtiop,' shrieked -my wife. "Then whr do vou do it?" was the answering scream "Because because vou can't hoar f I don't." "What !" exclaimed my aunt, ri valiuga railroad whistle this time. I began to think it time to evacu ate the premises, and looking around aud speing John gone I stepped into tho hack parlor, and there he lay flat on his back, wilh his fret at right angles wilh his body, rollinir from side to side, with his list poked into his ribs, and a most agonizing'cxprcs-siou of countenance, but not uttering a sound. I immediately and involun tarily assumed a similar position, aud I think from the relative posiliou oi our tect nnd Heads, and our attempts to restrain our laughter, apoplexy nitit inevitably hao ensued, if a horrible groan which John gave vent to in his endeavor to suppress his risi bility, had not betrayed our hiding place. In rushed my wife and aunt, who by this time comprehended Iho okc, and such a scolding as I got then I never got before, and I hope ncvor to get again I know not what the cud would have been, if John, in his endeavors to be respectful and sympathetic, had not given vent lo such a groan nud horse-laugh that all gravity was upset, and wc screamed in concert I know it was wrong, and all that. to tell such a falsehood, bnt I think that Mrs. Opio herself would hare laughed if sh had seen Aunt Mary's expression wiicu sue was iiuormcu .

In a late number of thw Journal wo propoed a schema in outline whicl', it entered upon and prosecuted with vigor, will give us throughout the State much bettor facilities for nor- innlinitruclinu than wo ore likely to . have under our present, arrangement for years to come, excellent ivj our normal schools are. In encouragement niul aujiporf of public school instruction wc grcitlr. need two things. We need a strong popular sentiment in favorof general education, and a large corps of able ami enthusiastic teachers in our schools in theconntry districts. Tho-needed public sentiment can be secured only by means of the press aud-by means of the district public school convention. Ellicient teachers can be secured for anv considerable num ber of nur public schools, outside of our cities nnd towns, only by offering the proper inducements to edu cated labor, longer terms of schot 1 and better wages. Short terms nud low wages offer poor encouragement to ediicaacd"nic)t and women in thin field of labor. The money wc spend in many districts is little better than thrown away, because so little is actually accomplished for the benefit of the 'pupil. , For Ihe pnrposc,thcii, of strength ening public favor of education In every part of the State, ami for the purpose of securing good teachers, for every school district In the State, wo propose tho following: Under the direct ion of the State Superintendent there should he held in each Congressional district nt least one convention itrthe interest of popular education. On these occasions both the friends and foes ot our public schools should meet on 'common ground and discuss freely and candidly' every feature of our school system. Thus the weak poiul3 in the system could be rcmedied,nutl a much stronger feclingin favorof our school" aroused than at present exists. Our people would come to understand and feel the great importance of a wood school svstcm to the general prosperity of our State. Then tb aecurc good teachers in erj err school wo must make normal school instruction more easily attainable. There are two very obvious reasons whv thi should bo done, and done immediately. First. The number of graduates furnished by our State norma! schools does not reach two hundred pupiN a year. The an-tial increase in the list of teachers throughout the State reaches nbout one thousand. The normal schools, then, do not supply over one-fifth of this increase, on the supposition that all Ihe graduates engage in teaching, which is lar from being Ihe rase. Normal Institutes will largely meet this difficulty by bringing under tho influence of normal methods, a much ' larger number of teachers. An Institute for everv four coJtntic3,.will be less than thirty institutes to be held during each year. If two State Instructors were employed to con. duct these normals, two men might get over the entire State each year, by holding each session three weeks. Fifteen sessions, "each continuing three weeks, will consume forty-fire weeks in each rear. If the attendance should not exceed one hundred teachers during each session, the tl.tr-tr sessions held by two instructors. would benefit no less than three thoV' sand teachers during each year. Snth a svstcm vigorously prosecuted. would tell immensely in favor of our schools in the next five years. - In point of economy aud efficiency nothing belter could be done for ot r school system. Journal ofEducation. .Hull in Coffee. Lcs Gtuscries Scientijiqucs (Paris) stales that M. Doyen has been investigating this subject, and has propos-the following met hod, which is simple.and can be easily tried by any housekeeper: He uses fifteen grammes (about half an ounce avoirdupois) for two cups. The berries arc to be powder-ed just before they arc used. Three-fourths of the. powder is to be thrown into cold water, which is made to boil, and kept boiling for ten min utes. I hen t lie remaining loitrtn ot the powder is cast in ; the pot is re moved from tho tire, covered up and allowed to remain five minutes. 1 ho liquid is now ready ; but it may if dcsiied, be passed through linen. So prepared it is browr.ish, not black, aud slightly turpid from the fatty matter, of which coffee contains 12 per cent. When coffee lias to be car- . ried on a journey, as by an army on the march, M. Doren has the roastcd berries ground into an impalpable powder, which is Ihcn slightly mois tened, combined with twice its weight of siiirar, and pressed Into tablets like chocolato. These are dried ami wrapped in tinfoil, and tho coffee ration thus prepared may bs used very speedily; for if -cast in to boiling water, tlie coffee is ready. Precious time and tho necessity or having coffee-mills is thus saved. that her hearing was defective. Slzo el Barrel.

The country over which we pasK"d . . . i in lite jNation is uoi as goon as wu expected lo (iud. The bet portion for agriculluial purpose is the Cherokee Nation. As we iret near the Arkansas river the land becomes hilly; sandstone laying thick over those hills, and dectilule of limber some very small vallcvs that would do for Indian cull lire. The valleys along lite st i rams are principally honieicn with good limber and the soil good. We loiiml iniirli very poor laud after crossing the Arkansas river ; we i raveled over a prairie count ey nr some disiaure, cmr-sing many little ! si ream skirled wilh brtih and tint-be1. Some of these prairie valleys are good for cultivation. The nexl stream of any note was North Canadian and seven miles trom ! I Washln jtoti Letter to the Plttsburjc tester.) I was relntcd n rerr iiiterttliiglurf 1nt yesterday, which has neverbeeii mode public through any of the jour-uals of the daw If at the time of its occurrence it had been published it would have furnished one of the sen sations of iho lime. "Double-leaded" t vpc and displar headlines would have been called Into piny to do honor lo the Importance of the news. Thi. then, Is nothing more or less hau the historv of an attempted as sassination ofPrcsidcnt Grant. The attempt was so very near a success Hint had it. not been for the pluck nud personnl bravery of one man, General Grant would long ago have been gathered to his fathers, and per haps ihe third-term question would' never have come up for discussion. The truth of ti c incident admits of no question, and it Is a great wonder to tm how such a bit of news never became known a! the time. However, circumstances explain this in a meas ure. The attempted assassination was made when Grant was general of the army, a short time before he wits elected President of iheUirted States. At the tunc ho occupied the house lately U8cd by General' Sherman, on I street between Second and ihird streets. General Grant came walking along home one day unaccompanied. The neighborhood of Massachusetts avenue and Sixth street, where the attack was made, is one of the quietest and most retired portions of the city. As the general catno along to cross Sixth street, Dr. Charles II. Dowet.. a well-known physician of this city, was standing in front of his office on Massachusetts avenue. A" Dr. Bowcn wa3 looking at the general pass by, he saw a man dart out from behind the bow-window with a revolver in his hand, shouting out to Grant terrible imprecations. .mil limit he said. "Hold on. Yankee fumnfa ." Wilh this he raised his revoU'er. and was about to fire, when Dr. Bowcn. who is a verv large and powerful man, placed himself be I ween Ihe would-be assassin and the future President. The doctor cried out. to the man, 'What arc you about there?" The man replied, "I am after that Yankee son of a . I am going to blow his brains nut." The doctor, a cool blooded man. who had seen four years' service during Ihe laic war, said. "In order to shoot him, you will have to slioot me. Come, now. put up-that pistol." The man replied inatrenzy,"Stand out of my way, or I will kill yon. too. I am an Alabamian.

During this parley General Grant stepped out briskly, turning his bend back every now and then. The doctor engaged the, man until Grant was around ihe corner on I street. Then he went bold'v up to the man. ami quick! v placitt- Ins right linger under , as no t.Ilcc liis nose, throwing his head back, ,,c and that she wa .iiiii.iii nlivsiciuti then "let in Ii left," as the sporting phrase goes, and the man tumbled to the ground. He also lost his revolver in the fall. The doctor picked it up and then said lo Ihe man, "It would be a good thing for you lo get out of this town as quick as you can. It will not be a good place for you after this." The man at this ran away, and the doctor never saw him afterward. The revolver he still retains a a souvenir of Hie attempt upon the life of Gen eral Grant. The would-be assassin was a man ot medium hoight. who appeared to be in the neighborhood of twenty-five years of age. He was dressed in a dark, well-worn, butternut colored stilt. A black slouch hat, worn by nearly every Southerner, was slouched over a smooth, beardless face. T,hcrc was no doubt in the mind of the doctor that the man was in eanest. He was a man evidently made crazy by desperation, and was perfectly reckless as to what he did. The President never, during his further residence upon I street, walked home again. He always rode, and then he never came down Massachusetts avenue. Although he was hilly aware of the seriousness of the attempt on his life, no words ever pass ed between him and the doctor upon the subject. Once the doctor had OC' riiKioii to ask a small favor of the President, and it was granted at once, thus showiiur that. althii"Ii the President had never personally ac kuowleilgcd the act of the doctor, he yet held him in grateful remem brance. N, M. SMITH. Cut This OHt. Every pcrsoiushould know how to ireat a flesh wound. Every one is li-ble to be placed in circumstances awav from surgical and veterinary aid, where he may have to' save his own life, the life of'a friend or a beast simply from the exercise of n li.'lle common sense. In the tirst place close the lips of the wound within the hands and hold them ilrmlv to 'ether to check the flow ot the blood until several stitches can bo taken and a bandage applied. Then bathe tho wound -for a lows time in cold water. "Should it be painful." a correspondent says, s,tako a panful of burning coals and sprinkle upon them common brown siiirar. and hold Ihe wounded part in tlto smoke. In a minute or two tho pain-.will ho al layed, ami the recovery proceeds rap-id'lv. In mv case 'a rusty nail, had made a bad wound in'my foot. The pain and nervous irritation -were severe. This was all removed by hold ing it in smoke fifteen minutes, and I was able to resume my reading in comfort. We have often recommend ed it to others riti like results, Last week one of in? men had a finger nail torn out by a pair of ice tongs. It became i-erv painful, as was to bo ex pected.

Ijio, wjekeduess, which I perpetrated toward my wifo and ancient relation. "My dear,'-' said I to my wile, on the day beforo my aunt's arrival, "you know Aunt Mnry Is coming tomorrow. Well, I forgot lo mention a rather annoying circumstance with regard to her : she is rerr deaf, aud although s!ie can hear mv voice, yet Von will be obliged to H'enk extreme ly loud in order to be heard. It will be rather inconvenient, but I know you will do cvcrriliiug in your power to make her risil ngreeable." Mrs. Opie announced her determin ation to make herself heard, if in her power. I then went .to John N .who loves a joke about a well as any per son I know of. aud told him to be in the house the urxt evening at G p. in., and felt comparatively happy. I went to the railroad depot with a carriage next night, and when I wa-on my way home with my aunt, I said : "My dear aunt, ihere is one rather annoying infirmity that Annie (my wife) has, which I forgot to men tion before She is rerr deaf, and although she can hear my roice, to which she has become accustomed, in ' j its ordinary oiies, yet you will bo obliged to speak extremely lout) in order to be heard. I am verv sorrr for it." Aunt Mary, in the goodness of her heart, protested that she rather liked speaking loud, and to do so would afford her great pleasure. The carriage drove up; on the steps was my wife; in the window was John N , with a face as utterly solemn as if he had buried his relatives that afternoon. "I am delighted to sec you," shrieked my wife, and the policeman on the opposite side of the street was startled, and my .unit fell down the steps. "Kiss me, my dear," bawled mv aunt', and the windows shook as with the fever and ague. 1 looked at the window, John had disappeared. Human nature could stand it no longer. I poked my head into the carriage and went into strong convulsions. When I went into Ihe parlor my wile was helping Aunt Mary to take oft' her hat and cape; and there sat John with his face buried in his handkerchief."Did you havea pleasant journey?" suddenly went ofl my wife like a pistol, and John nearly jumped to his jcet. "Rather dusty," was the response, in a war-whoop, and the conversation continued. The neighbors, for blocks around, must have heard it. When I was in the third story of I he building I heard every word. In the course of Ihe evening my aunt took occasion to say to me, "How loud your wife talks!" I told her deaf persons talked loudly, anil thai my wife, being used to it, was not affected by the exertion. s getting along rerr I :.t. t.- g inrei . nun iii:r. ' Presently my wife said, softly, 'AI, how very loud your aunt talks!" "Yes," said I, "all deaf persons do. You are setting along with her fine-Iv ; she hears every word you say." Aud I rather think she did. Exalted at their success ot being understood, titer went it hammer and tongs, till everything on theman-tel-picce clattered again, nnd I was scrjously afraid of a crowd collecting in front of the house. But. the end was near. Mv aunt. being of an inventive turn of mind, was desirous of finding out whether the exertion of talking was injurious o my wife. So "Don't talking so oud strain your lungs?" said she in an unearthly whoop, for her voice was not as musical as it was when she was voting. "It is an excrtiop,' shrieked -my wife. "Then whr do vou do it?" was the answering scream "Because because vou can't hoar f I don't." "What !" exclaimed my aunt, ri valiuga railroad whistle this time. I began to think it time to evacu ate the premises, and looking around aud speing John gone I stepped into tho hack parlor, and there he lay flat on his back, wilh his fret at right angles wilh his body, rollinir from side to side, with his list poked into his ribs, and a most agonizing'cxprcs-siou of countenance, but not uttering a sound. I immediately and involun tarily assumed a similar position, aud I think from the relative posiliou oi our tect nnd Heads, and our attempts to restrain our laughter, apoplexy nitit inevitably hao ensued, if a horrible groan which John gave vent to in his endeavor to suppress his risi bility, had not betrayed our hiding place. In rushed my wife and aunt, who by this time comprehended Iho okc, and such a scolding as I got then I never got before, and I hope ncvor to get again I know not what the cud would have been, if John, in his endeavors to be respectful and sympathetic, had not given vent lo such a groan nud horse-laugh that all gravity was upset, and wc screamed in concert I know it was wrong, and all that. to tell such a falsehood, bnt I think that Mrs. Opio herself would hare laughed if sh had seen Aunt Mary's expression wiicu sue was iiuormcu .

In a late number of thw Journal wo propoed a schema in outline whicl', it entered upon and prosecuted with vigor, will give us throughout the State much bettor facilities for nor- innlinitruclinu than wo ore likely to . have under our present, arrangement for years to come, excellent ivj our normal schools are. In encouragement niul aujiporf of public school instruction wc grcitlr. need two things. We need a strong popular sentiment in favorof general education, and a large corps of able ami enthusiastic teachers in our schools in theconntry districts. Tho-needed public sentiment can be secured only by means of the press aud-by means of the district public school convention. Ellicient teachers can be secured for anv considerable num ber of nur public schools, outside of our cities nnd towns, only by offering the proper inducements to edu cated labor, longer terms of schot 1 and better wages. Short terms nud low wages offer poor encouragement to ediicaacd"nic)t and women in thin field of labor. The money wc spend in many districts is little better than thrown away, because so little is actually accomplished for the benefit of the 'pupil. , For Ihe pnrposc,thcii, of strength ening public favor of education In every part of the State, ami for the purpose of securing good teachers, for every school district In the State, wo propose tho following: Under the direct ion of the State Superintendent there should he held in each Congressional district nt least one convention itrthe interest of popular education. On these occasions both the friends and foes ot our public schools should meet on 'common ground and discuss freely and candidly' every feature of our school system. Thus the weak poiul3 in the system could be rcmedied,nutl a much stronger feclingin favorof our school" aroused than at present exists. Our people would come to understand and feel the great importance of a wood school svstcm to the general prosperity of our State. Then tb aecurc good teachers in erj err school wo must make normal school instruction more easily attainable. There are two very obvious reasons whv thi should bo done, and done immediately. First. The number of graduates furnished by our State norma! schools does not reach two hundred pupiN a year. The an-tial increase in the list of teachers throughout the State reaches nbout one thousand. The normal schools, then, do not supply over one-fifth of this increase, on the supposition that all Ihe graduates engage in teaching, which is lar from being Ihe rase. Normal Institutes will largely meet this difficulty by bringing under tho influence of normal methods, a much ' larger number of teachers. An Institute for everv four coJtntic3,.will be less than thirty institutes to be held during each year. If two State Instructors were employed to con. duct these normals, two men might get over the entire State each year, by holding each session three weeks. Fifteen sessions, "each continuing three weeks, will consume forty-fire weeks in each rear. If the attendance should not exceed one hundred teachers during each session, the tl.tr-tr sessions held by two instructors. would benefit no less than three thoV' sand teachers during each year. Snth a svstcm vigorously prosecuted. would tell immensely in favor of our schools in the next five years. - In point of economy aud efficiency nothing belter could be done for ot r school system.

The berries arc to be powder-ed just before they arc used. Three-fourths of the. powder is to be thrown into cold water, which is made to boil, and kept boiling for ten min utes. I hen t lie remaining loitrtn ot the powder is cast in ; the pot is re moved from tho tire, covered up and allowed to remain five minutes. 1 ho liquid is now ready ; but it may if dcsiied, be passed through linen.
